Inland






     Exaltation is the going
     Of an inland soul to the sea, -
     Past the houses, past the headlands,
     Into deep eternity!


I don't know about exaltation,
but how should I, given that it
isn't embodied. I wonder, then,
how I think one can know peace;
possibly, I do not ask enough?
